Khyree Jackson Passed Away!

Khyree Jackson was tragically killed in a car crash.

The 4th of July weekend is the most dangerous time for motorists.

Khyree Jackson was selected to play for the Minnesota Vikings. His dream were to play for the NFL and build a career for himself and his family.

While in his hometown of Upper Marlboro, Maryland, Jackson and two of his high school friends were killed in a traffic accident. The incident is under investigation and the Maryland State Police will determine whether speed, alcohol or not wearing a seatbelts play a role in their deaths.

Jackson, along with two of his former high school teammates, was killed in a car crash in Prince George's County, Maryland in the early morning hours of July 6, 2024 when another driver attempted to change lanes at a high speed and struck the vehicle in which Jackson was a passenger.

The other two occupants — Isaiah Hazel, 23, and Anthony Lytton, Jr., 24 — also died.

Hazel, who played college football at Maryland and Charlotte, was driving. Lytton, who played for Florida State and Penn State, was riding in the back seat.

Per the release, the preliminary investigation shows that the driver of another car “attempted to change lanes while driving at a high rate of speed when she struck the Dodge Charger and then struck [a] Chevrolet Impala.”

The impact forced the Charger off the road, where it “struck multiple tree stumps.

Someone sold the Fox outlet TMZ the graphic photos of the vehicle being destroyed.

It's pathetic that the tabloid is trying to exploit tragedy for profit.

Three men lose their lives to a drunk driver.

Born in Upper Marlboro, Maryland, Jackson attended Wise High School. In Jackson's senior season, he made 39 catches for 612 yards and 12 touchdowns. After graduating in 2017, Jackson attended Arizona Western College to play college football but returned to Maryland after becoming homesick. He later worked at a local Harris Teeter grocery store, where he earned employee of the month honors. Before his return to football, Jackson contemplated pursuing a professional career as a NBA 2K League player. After two years outside of football, Jackson decided to attend Fort Scott Community College in 2019.

All three victims were occupants of a maroon Dodge Charger involved in the crash. Hazel was the driver.  Jackson was the front seat passenger and Lytton was seated in the rear of the vehicle.

Shortly after 3:14 a.m. this morning, troopers from the Forestville Barrack responded to a crash on northbound Route 4/Pennsylvania Avenue and Presidential Parkway north of Dower House Road in Upper Marlboro. The three vehicles involved in the crash were a silver Infinity Q50, a silver Chevrolet Impala and a maroon Dodge Charger.

The preliminary investigation indicates the driver of the silver Infiniti, later identified as Cori Clingman, 23, of Upper Marlboro, was traveling northbound on Route 4/Pennsylvania Avenue in Prince George’s County.  Investigators believe Clingman attempted to change lanes while driving at a high rate of speed when she struck the Dodge Charger and then struck the Chevrolet Impala. The Charger subsequently traveled off of the right side of the roadway and struck multiple tree stumps where the vehicle came to rest.

Clingman had two other passengers in her Infinity at the time of the crash. No one was injured in her vehicle.

The Chevrolet Impala was occupied solely by the driver. He was also uninjured in the crash and refused medical treatment at the scene.

Maryland Department of Transportation State Highway Administration personnel assisted with road closures. The northbound lanes of Route 4/Pennsylvania Road were reopened at 10:20 a.m. today.

Investigators believe alcohol may have been a contributing circumstance in the crash.

Charges are pending the investigation and consultation with the Prince George’s County State’s Attorney’s Office. The Maryland State Police Crash Team is leading the investigation.
